CHIPOTLE BRISKET SANDWICH ON A CHEDDAR BISCUIT

Steps:

• For the brisket: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Lay the sliced onions in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the brisket on top of the onions and season with salt and pepper. Top with the garlic cloves and ale. Cover tightly with foil and roast until tender, 5 to 6 hours. Loosen the cover and let cool to room temperature.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno and diced onion and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the pureed chipotle peppers and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Remove any excess fat from the cooled brisket with a spatula. Slice the brisket across the grain into 1 1/2-inch-thick pieces and gently pull the meat apart by hand. Place the meat in a large bowl and season with the granulated garlic, paprika, 1 teaspoon pepper and 2 teaspoons salt. Add the cooked onion and jalapeno mixture and toss gently to combine.
• For the biscuits: Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the 2 sticks of cold butter until the mixture is crumbly, being careful not to overmix. Add the Cheddar. Add the buttermilk a little at a time, just until the mixture is combined and moist. Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll or press the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut the dough into 4-by-4-inch squares or use a large biscuit cutter, place on the baking sheet and brush with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Brush with additional melted butter while the biscuits are still warm. Set aside.
• For the chipotle sauce: Combine the guacamole, mayonnaise, chipotle peppers and lemon juice in a medium bowl and mix well. Season with salt, cover and refrigerate.
• To serve: Heat the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Loosely wrap the biscuits in foil and place in the oven until warm. For each sandwich, place 6 to 8 ounces of the brisket mixture in a small saute pan. Heat until very warm, stirring so the brisket does not brown. Turn off the heat and top with 1 slice of Cheddar and some caramelized onions. Cover the pan until the cheese melts. Cut the warm biscuit in half lengthwise and fill with the brisket mixture. Top with the desired amount of chipotle sauce and serve.

CHEDDAR CHIPOTLE BREAD ON A PIZZA STONE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast over 3 cups of warm water in a small bowl and stir in the sugar. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
• Combine 4 cups of flour and the salt in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast to form a soft dough. Set aside for 15 minutes to let the flour absorb the liquid. Add the flour 1 cup at a time, mixing until until the dough is very smooth. (If the dough is too stiff to mix by hand, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead in the remaining flour.) Let the dough rest for an additional 15 minutes.
• Seed the chiles, if desired, and puree the chipotle peppers in adobo. Cut the softened cream cheese into cubes. Knead the chipotle puree, cubed cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and the grated Parmesan cheese into the dough until fully incorporated.
• Place the dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Punch the dough down and knead it a few times. Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Place a pizza stone in the oven on a middle rack. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly dust a pizza peel or the back of a baking tray with cornmeal.
• Use a serrated knife to divide the dough into four equal pieces. Shape the loaves into round balls, and place the balls on the cornmeal-dusted peel. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 10-20 minutes.
• Slide the loaves off the peel or baking sheet onto the hot baking stone and bake until the bread is golden and the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 20 to 30 minutes.
